Healthy Smoothie Recipes

Are you a busy body like me? Do you want to consume 3-4 nutritious meals a day? Are you having trouble eating your daily recommended greens/veggies? Are you lazy at times and just want to throw everything in a blender?! If you answered yes to at least 2 of these, keep reading for healthy smoothie recipes lol.

I’ve just recently got into my healthy hot girl era so I’m trying different ways to consume more greens and less junk so I can have abs for the summer. With that being said, I was recently at hotel for a work conference and was burnt out from all the alcohol, carbs, and other junk so I went to the restaurant and ordered a green smoothie. Listen, that healthy smoothie changed my life. By the time I came back home, I was creating my own smoothie recipes.

Furthermore, the best part about these healthy smoothies are that they both take less than 3 minutes to make! They are both very filling and can be used as a snack until the next big meal.

In addition, if you decide to create your own healthy smoothies, I can recommend using almond milk or coconut water for your non-green smoothies. Also, for your green smoothies, I definitely recommend orange juice for your smoothie to have the natural sweet flavor. You can definitely use water in all your smoothies too!

Note: I didn’t add any protein powder to either of these recipes, but feel free to add vanilla protein for a post-workout meal.
